first plug-in vehicle is coming, and it’s coming soon. The end of 2018 is upon us already, and the
Hybrid is almost ready for primetime. This time around, it has a plug, a feature that is notably absent from the car’s nomenclature, à la the
. It will also borrow its PHEV technology from
and now, we have California Air Resources Board (CARB) documents that suggest the
all-electric range.
According to the document (which can be seen in PDF form
), CARB rates the Crosstrek Hybrid’s

electric range at 25.650 miles. For what it’s worth, the
with which this Subaru shares powertrain tech, has an EPA-estimated all-electric range of 25 miles and a highway electric range of 21.9 miles. The document also lists an “equivalent” all-electric urban range of 26.273 miles and “equivalent” all-electric highway range of 27.381 miles. (“Equivalent” range
come into play when PHEVs use a mix of electric and gas power at the same time.)
The
, which will use Subaru’s own 2.0-liter gasoline engine, doesn’t appear to suffer a reduction in electric range compared to the
despite its size, elevated ride height or all-wheel-drive system. The reasons for that are still unclear, as we don’t have a lot of details about the underpinnings of the 2019 Crosstrek Hybrid. Will it have a bigger battery than the Prime’s 8.8-kWh pack? Will the electric motor drive all four wheels, or will it only power one axle under all-electric power? What other mitigating factors could add efficiency and, in effect, range to this Subaru? Of course, we’ll have to see how the
final estimated driving range shakes out before we draw our official comparisons.
We’ll know a lot more when the 2019 Crosstrek Hybrid gets its official debut before the end of this year, plug and all.
